Miss Henelope Featherington is our diamond debutante of the season!
I thought her name was Aubergina, but perhaps that’s her middle name. I was watching Bridgerton last night, and realized that this chicken needed to honor Penelope. So she’s Miss Henelope Aubergina Featherington.
Miss Featherington enjoys the pianoforte.
She joins her family, waiting to be knocked over by Calvin the Cat.
Is this a come hither look or what?
Notes: Pattern is Emotional Support Chicken, available on Ravelry or from the Knitting Tree LA. I used Malabrigo Rios and a US 7 needle; if I were to do it again I’d use a smaller needle so I could stuff it more firmly without the stuffing showing through. Seaming wasn’t as awful as I thought it might be. And I used scraps of yarn to close up any gaps that showed in the fabric (like where the tail feathers come together, and next to the decreases on the beak) before stuffing.
All in all, a quick fun knit.
And it was fun auditioning the eyes!

She’s terrific, Michele ! – excellent example of the art !
LOL! I love her! So cute, and that is a great name 🙂
She is AWESOME!
She’s a star! I see you also have a knit Gromit, so I’m going to go look for that pattern now. 😁
That’s the cutest chicken I ever saw! It amazes me how you get things done so quickly.
She is adorable! She is quite the cultured chick. I think the blue eyes are the best.
